Dental Bridges
Dental bridges restore your smile by filling gaps left by missing teeth, improving both function and appearance. They help maintain proper bite alignment, prevent shifting, and support long-term oral health. Bridges offer a durable, natural-looking solution for confident chewing, speaking, and smiling.
Dental Bridges in Orange and Villa Park, CA
A dental bridge is custom-made to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by securing an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the nearby natural teeth or dental implants, creating a stable, functional restoration. By filling gaps in your smile, a dental bridge restores proper chewing ability, supports clear speech, and helps maintain facial structure.
It also prevents surrounding teeth from shifting out of alignment, reducing the risk of bite problems and future dental complications. This long-lasting solution offers both functional and aesthetic benefits.

How do dental bridges differ from other restorations?
Dental bridges are a reliable solution for replacing one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. Unlike fillings or crowns, which restore damaged but existing teeth, bridges fill the gap left by missing teeth to support proper function and aesthetics. They also differ from removable dentures, offering a fixed and more natural-feeling restoration. By stabilizing your bite, preventing neighboring teeth from shifting, and restoring a complete smile, dental bridges provide both functional and long-term cosmetic benefits.

What is a dental crown and how does it work with a dental bridge?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a weakened or damaged tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are also essential components of a dental bridge, which replaces one or more missing teeth. In a bridge, crowns are placed on the healthy teeth adjacent to the gap, anchoring the artificial tooth securely in place.
Together, crowns and bridges offer a stable, natural-looking solution that enhances function and protects the remaining teeth.
